 Gang let's do a comic book haul. I got, I got three graded comics at a ridiculous price. One of them was fair value, but two of them were just insanely, insanely cheap. They were local buys. Okay. They were local buys, so there was no shipping involved and And So I didn't even, I didn't have to pay taxes on shipping. So I saved on shipping as well. Three CGC graded comics. Here's the first one. Let me take it out of the bag. New Avengers number seven from 2005. Okay, first appearance of the Illuminati. Century, Wrecker and Mary Hill appearance. Paul Jenkins cameo on last page. New Avengers number seven. Ended up paying $9.50 US for this. And remember, local pickup, so there's no shipping, shipping costs. Let me make sure I got that price right. Yeah, $9.50 US for this. Okay. Just shipping this out to get it graded and having it come back would probably cost like $40 US in Canada, if not more. Okay, so if you want to build yourself a CGC comic book collection, if you want to build yourself a CGC comic book collection, and here's the back, you could build yourself a super cheap, like inexpensive CGC comic book collection by going for stuff that isn't hot right now. Okay, that isn't hot right now. And I think this guy was selling this for $100. So, fantastic deal, fantastic deal. Here's another one. This one, the guy was selling it for $125, right? We ended up getting this one for $10.50 US. Right? Stray dogs number four. Okay. From 2021, the Demons Movie poster homage cover graded at 9.8 for $10.50. And the Demons Movie, it's a 1980s B horror movie. I don't know if what do you call it? Any of you guys have seen it? I don't know. I haven't seen it, it's weird. I saw a lot of the horror movies, B horror movies, and I've seen them multiple times from 1980s, but I haven't seen Demons. And it's about these people that go into a movie theater, I believe, and zombify, people become zombified, eating each other, killing each other, and stuff like this. So, super cool. $10.50. Great deal, great deal. And I was picking up this series, by the way, until I stopped going to my comic book shop. Right? So, fantastic series. What's this? Kieran Gillan. Here's a review. Kieran Gillan. That's a horror series. I didn't read any. I just picked it up. Right? Stray dog manages to somehow be a convincing collision between 101 Dalmatians and criminal, noir, charming, and a really great take on quasi-real-dog psychology. Great cover. Demons. Stray dogs. Number four. $10.50. So, that's one thing if you're on budget, which I am. Right? I'm just looking for really, really amazing deals that their books are not hot, and you can pick up the stuff super cheap. Okay. Here's another CGC great comic. And the guy was selling this one for $100. Right? I like the usage of the word unleashed. That's right. For dogs. Sometimes a wicket has been unleashed at the top. Right? Something wicket has been unleashed. Nice cat's rumble. And this one was fair value, in my opinion, anyway. That's what it's going for. It is still a great deal. This is Spider-Man number one Marvel Comics group, okay, from 2012. And this is the first, this one I paid $28 US. Okay. So, that's a going price. So, it's fair value. It's still a great deal. Right? Cheap. It's the first appearance of Peter Parker and what do you call it? The Miles Morales. Right? So, it's their first appearance. And for future value and stuff like this is a good place to at least get a copy. Right? So, $28 US for this. Not a bad deal. And again, no shipping involved, which makes it a better deal. Right? But still taxes that I had to pay on this. So, all four of these are now costing $50 something. Yeah, almost $50 US plus just taxes on it. Right? You have this issue. Nice. And check this out. We've got a little package. We've got a little package. And this one is trading cards. Right? You've seen this one before. We're actually doing a reading on it right now. And I only had one copy of this. I wanted another copy because once we start reading, we've only read the first 12 cards of this. We've got to do the rest. The assassination of JFK. So, this is my second copy of this. And we do have this, you know, reading of the first 12 cards done. And we're going to read the rest this fall anyway. Right? And again, I'll say this. There's more knowledge in these cards than in all of high school history classes that you can take. Right? Here's card number one. We've looked at all these. Well, we're going to look at all these. We've looked at the first 12 and ended up getting this one at a good price if it was a local pick-up. So, it was $15. Let me check this out. Let's see. I ended up paying... I won this for $15.50 Canadian. Okay. The shipping ended up costing... What was the shipping on this? The shipping ended up costing $18 and it's from Canada. Okay. And taxes ended up being $4 something on this. So, on a $15 item, I paid $4 in taxes. Right? Because they charge taxes on shipping as well. So, it ended up being like 26%, 27% in taxes, which is a total rip off. Right? But still, a good deal for this set of cards because they're going for a higher price. A couple of years ago, they were cheaper. Right now, that was the cheapest I could find it. So, it ended up costing like $37.50 or something Canadian. Okay. Oh, my God. I'm obsessed with first appearances. If I see it on a comic, I simply have to buy it. Yes, first appearances, first encounters, first reveals, first anything, really. First of a series starting, prices on them, it's incredible. I know a lot of... Over the last few years, I've seen a lot of resellers, a lot of people that were blowing out a lot of comics and they used to list hundreds of comics. Right? They've ran out. Like, they don't have any more. Right? There's some warehouse sellers out there that have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of copies of comics. So, they're constantly selling up. But there were minor resellers that had a few thousand feedback that used to be listing a lot of comic books. And I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the last 10 years or so. Right? But they're no longer around. Like, they ran out of comics to sell. And you know a seller is slowly getting to the end of their inventory is when they reduce the number of auctions they do and they just put buy it now. And some of the buyers that they're buying from, they're doing way less auctions now and they're doing the buy it now because they're running low on inventory. And once they blow those out, that's it. They got no more. Right? Rendo. When are those printed? These ones were printed. We looked at these. These ones were printed late 80s, I think. Late 80s, I believe. Let's check it out. Kudeta assassination. It's not on the info card. Where is it? Start data on the info card. Nope. There is on the back of the things. Early 90s, the text, Revised Second. Kudeta trading cards, Revised Second edition, text copyright, 1990, 1992, Paul Branco, art copyright, 1990, 1992. So second edition. I didn't realize there was a first and second edition. So this is the second printing on these things. I don't know. Crazy. So 1990 and then 1992. I have to cross reference this with the other set that I have. See if the other set is first edition or second edition. So 1990, 1992. These would be 1992. I'm not sure what the other ones were. I'll have to take a look at them. When we do the next reading, I'll try to bring these to see if there's any difference between those. Those are the original print on them. Super cool. And I was buying comics from the comic book store. At the time, I had a pull list on a comic book store, and I don't remember these cards in the comic book store. At the time, I wasn't collecting cards, so maybe it just didn't register with me. But I don't remember seeing Eclipse Comics comic book cards. This one, or coup d'etat, or rotten to the core, trading cards, or drug war trading cards, or any of those. Oh my god. You got the first appearance of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Wow. Keep that well. Keep that safe. That thing is only going to go up in value. Famous last word, but I think it's only going to go up in value. That's a major key. A few years ago, you could have bought it for a thousand bucks. Low copy for 500 maybe. Now, I don't even know what it's going for. A high grade copy would be going for easily 10, 15, 20 grand. Artwork differs from the edition. Yeah, I wonder too. We'll have to put them together, see. As long as that one is the first edition. Kebabs, how are you doing? Cheers, brother. Good to do a live stream. I haven't been doing too many of these. Still in recoup mode. And school season is starting. So this summer was, we planned on doing a lot of work this summer, but live streams and stuff like this, but I got taken out. I got taken out. Gang? That's our comic book haul. Nice haul. Nice haul. On the down low. On a budget. And amazing bias.
